Gu Dao's Immortal Life 顾道长生
I thought this was going to be a realistic urban-life story, but then the setting changed without warning! Spiritual qi revival, the return of Taoist arts: this is probably a story about modern civilization transforming into a cultivation civilization. This book still takes its time.

- 2 Chronicles of the Green Ghost 青诡纪事 Synopsis: He Qing is an ordinary college student living an ordinary life. The only unusual thing about her is that she can always see things other people can’t… The old-fashioned writing style is a little rough around the edges [important!!!], so please be patient. The characters’ values do not represent the author’s. Some of the Taoist spells in this story come from online sources, and some are made up by me. No romance.

In a single night, the mountain gate was destroyed and his fellow d

The Fire Banyan Dao of the Primordial World 洪荒火榕道
The martial path arose among humanity in ancient times, and the Human Sovereign, Shennong, carried on its legacy. Yet in the primordial age, before humanity had even emerged, mighty beings had already created divine arts of the flesh. One such art was called Law of Heaven and Earth: it gathered the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into the body, granting the power to pluck stars, seize the sun and moon, and move mountains and rivers, to contend against the Wu and Yao clans. It was the True S

The Confucian Way to Sagehood 儒道至圣
This is a world where scholars command the power of Heaven and Earth. With literary talent within, poems can slay enemies, lyrics can destroy armies, and essays can bring peace to the realm. A scholar puts brush to paper, discussing war from the safety of his desk; a successful candidate slays the enemy with every word; an advanced scholar flies into a rage, and his words become weapons. When a Sage arrives, his words and writing can condemn a man, judge an emperor's rule unjust, and take on an

Taiyi 太易
Tai means great, supreme and boundless. The Highest One values virtue. Yi means change. The sun and moon alternate, and yin and yang take turns. Thus, the Dao transforms into change; change contains the Supreme Ultimate, which gives rise to the Two Forms. Creation shapes heaven and earth and sets the myriad gods in motion. The divine path means wielding heavenly authority and shepherding all living things. Those who create the world and bring all things into being are gods. Those who summon clou

Books with distinctive new ideas, fresh settings •ᴗ• and original concepts; seasoned writing and good storytelling. I personally bought every chapter. This also includes pioneering works of certain genres. Although some aspects may seem clichéd by today's standards, they are still well worth collecting as nostalgic reads. Updated irregularly. If there are books I particularly dislike, I may list them as well, partly as a warning to fellow readers.
